The painful and profound diary of a jewish political activist that survived the concentration camps. Hanna Lévy-Hass documents her years in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, in which she was imprisoned as a Jewish political activist. Her observations and notes are a precious, unique and fundamental reconstruction of the daily life in a Nazi concentration camp. A new light is shed on the lives of the deportees. The problems of the harshness of the work to which the prisoners were forced, the ferocity of the humiliations suffered by them, but also the political and social divisions within the concentration camp and the hopes in a better and new world, which should have arisen on the ashes of one of the darkest periods in human history.
